The National Rifle Association released a statement today in response to Senator Feinstein’s proposed bill to ban guns in America. Obviously, they’re not impressed with Feinstein’s lack of knowledge on the subject.
The NRA reported, via Free Republic:

Feinstein’s 1994 ban listed “grenade launcher” as one of the prohibiting features for rifles. Her 2013 bill carries goes even further into the ridiculous, by also listing “rocket launcher.” Such devices are restricted under the National Firearms Act and, obviously, are not standard components of the firearms Feinstein wants to ban. Perhaps a subsequent Feinstein bill will add “nuclear bomb,” “particle beam weapon,” or something else equally far-fetched to the features list.

They will have to pry my particle beam from my cold, dead hands.

My guess is the looney from California knows this particular ban (ie. grenade launchers) is a non issue for those who know. Her target (pardon the pun) is the low IQ voter who actually believes such things are now legal. It is about painting the gun rights crowd as extreme for wanting grenade launchers. Though no gun rights people are demanding such things, if Frankenstein can characterize them as such, she has accomplished what she’s after…the gradual demise of gun ownership.

Diane Feinstein (Marxist, New China), knows full well this bill is toxic to real Americans, but that’s OK since she sacrificed her soul to the Democrat’s triad of Karl, Vladimir and Saul.

O/T – just watching fox News (something I rarely do anymore ) and they just had a piece on lawmakers pushing the mileage tax. Add that to the new automobile black-box from last week and you can see these greedy kleptocrats are attempting to steal it all.

Bad times ahead folks, bad times.

Hey, Diane! Climb down from your Marbled Monument to Murphy’s Law and visit Texas! People here would GLADLY give you their opinion.

I guess soon we will need some pointy sticks! Then they will try to ban the pointy sticks.

There is an effort underway in England right now to ban butcher knives from private citizens houses. The argument is that no reasonable citizen really *needs* a butcher knife.

those Ruger 10/22’s are dangerous assault weapons when you put a 20 round clip on it!

When your knowledge of guns come from the kids playing video games that what you get. You need to restrict he number of guns people can buy because people can carry 10 or so with unlimited ammo and switch weapons with the flick of a scroll wheel. We don’t want the world to turn into a rocket arena in Unreal and we certainly don’t want them getting hold of HiCap Redeemers.

Is it to late to add to the list? Surely, Feinstein will won’t to ban Gallagher’s ICBMWs? (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Winnebagos)

Politicians are too stupid to figure out that they don’t need to ban guns, they only need to ban bullets.

Godzilla

How about laser surgery?

When only Democrats have guns, how safe will TRUE AMERICANS be?

We need to BAN traitorous anti Second Amendment Democrats.

VOTE OUT anti Second Amendment Democrats 2014!

The entire House of Representatives is up for re-election in 2014. Take note of the vermin that votes for the gun ban. Their names will be public information. Then make sure your friends and family know who the enemies of our Constitutional rights are. Talk about it all through 2013 and up to election 2014. Make 2014 VOTE OUT anti-2nd Amendment Democrats bumper stickers, T shirts and buttons. Put up 2014 VOTE OUT anti-2nd Amendment Democrats flyers. Put VOTE OUT anti-2nd Amendment Democrats stickers on mail correspondence, put the same kinds of notes in letters and cards you send.

YOU can do a lot of simple things like that in order to protect your right to keep and bear arms.

These traitorous Anti Second Amendment Democrats are hoping TRUE AMERICANS will forget what they did in early 2013. They’re banking on the dumbed down and uniformed voting for them again. YOU could full well influence a few of these morons to see the light and get these anti-Second Amendment Democrats tossed out of office in 2014!

What a great idea!

However, you should know that in Toronto, Ontario we had a mayor named Art Eggleton who later became the Minister of Defence – while mayor he declared Toronto a Nuclear Free Zone – naturally he was just one more of a number of completely useless progressives to bespoil our political landscape. . . .

Watch England march in protest of their government. They realize that they are screwed by banning guns and they regret it.

Her bill is a slap in the face of dear leader Obama. These weapons are key to freedom in the middle east and in mexico. Dear leader will need to exclude himself from giving these weapons to our ememies or we’ll never have true peace

Blacque Jacques Shellacque

Dear leader will need to exclude himself from giving these weapons to our ememies or…

Haaahhahahahahaaa…

Always remember, laws are for the little people. And with the current administration, that goes triple.

“A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who would attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government”.

grenade launchers! she must be an islamophobe wanting to outlaw the favorite weapon of islamic terrorists.

Liberals are such hypocrits. Is she going to give up her concealed carry permit And her armed body guards? Or will this be just another freebie congress is allowed to have by law that the rest of us don’t qualify for?

You’ve got it wrong. obama plans to give the ME OUR weapons once he has confiscated them. But only to the muslim brotherhood…his handlers.

#32 – Yeah, people turned in every piece of garbage they could dig up to get the cash, including cleaning out the local sporting goods stores of their cheap shotguns and .22’s. Most people who own guns have at least two or three junk guns they would gladly part with for a few hundred bucks, and the smart ones have a second gun in every caliber they own just in case someone ever comes knocking on their door to confiscate them. I don’t think these gun-grabbing morons have ANY idea how many guns are in circulation in America. If they did, they might be surprised by the remarkably low number of firearm deaths we’ve seen over the years …

All mockery aside it is time for we the people to form our ‘well regulated’ militias on the local and state levels to oppose the Communist by any other name takeover of America. If the TEA party means anything it must be willing to move to the next level and form an armed resistance even to the federal government. We need to begin drilling on the commons in the thousands all over the U.S., not with actual weapons at first since those would be seized but drill we must to make our presence known. There are many thousands of military veterans who will be willing to do this, and every able bodied man and woman who loves America and the Constitution should take part. Of course the media and government would call militias terrorists but they do already, so just flip them the bird and do what is needful.

Just came back from my local gunstore. Spent some time talking with the boys about this proposed new law.

Anyway, turns out that “registration” will be mandatory in this new law, meaning that you will have to report your guns to the gov’t.

We both laughed because we know that, in other countries, registration came right before confiscation. The gov’t can’t confiscate what they don’t know you have, so first they have to get everybody to report (“register”) their firearms.

“Rev. Jackson, I’m going to make one more turn at this question, because the original question was, Chicago has some of the strictest and most tough gun laws in the country,” he said boldly. “If this level of gun laws doesn’t work in Chicago, and you still have the guns coming from outside the city in, and now you got 500 homicides this year, what is the argument to extending this nationally and to other cities?”]

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns, we are ‘citizens’. Without them, we are ‘subjects’.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

If you value your freedom, please spread this antigun-control message to all of your friends.

so when is the Secret Service turning in all their guns and being disbanded by 0bama?

Hmmm. Elsewhere I’ve read that this bill is written to look like it’s been put together by a knows-nothing-about-guns idiot, BUT… the “odd things” in it aren’t accidental, and aren’t mistakes of phrasing.

When it passes, you will find that “virtually every gun manufactured since 1900 will be illegal”.

= = = = =

Tinfoil hat time: This is part of a bigger agenda. “They” are expecting (and engineering) fiscal collapse. They’ve been sowing class division, racial division — working to dissolve social cohesion. We all know about Cloward-Piven – spend us into chaos, with the side benefit of an “us vs them” dynamic. We’re buying our own debt, ie debasing our currency. We’re spending $5billion A DAY, and this Administration wants to spend MORE. The “tax hikes” they want wouldn’t be used to pay down debt, they would spend it ALL and come back whining that they “need more”. The whole point is to blow up the economy, create a Great Depression II, have riots in the streets with wholesale slaughter, have people frantic for a job, desperate for food to feed their families, and unable to defend themselves… and the next step is to Blame Somebody Else (Will it be Repubs? Tea Party people?) and start rounding them up (remember the millions of rounds of hollow-point bullets? the “war-gaming” involving “radical Tea Party members”?)

Chaos and craziness and fear, until … ta-da! A Strong Leader appears, says “I can handle this, trust me; we just need to suspend parts of the Constitution for a brief time while we arrest the rioters and purge the corruptocrats in government. Everything will be fine when Order Is Restored”. The destabilization is needed to insure that the citizens are desperate enough to welcome whoever brings law and order, food, and public utilities. It’ll just be a minor inconvenience to have soldiers and checkpoints in every town in the country.

Then we become a Democratic Peoples Republic of America, or the United Socialist States of America, or some such. Expect a lot more crony capitalism, where the government elites reward supporters with appointments to nationalized companies (guaranteed profits for them, and taxpayers cover the costs).

Or maybe we’ll get stuck with some variety of One-World-Governance. (That’s always been a popular Progressive dream.) Remember, the European Union is also in precarious straits: radical Islamists threaten the social order, and the central banks hold MOUNTAINS of debt that cannot –repeat CAN NOT– be repaid; a fiscal crash and consequent social upheaval is virtually INEVITABLE. Think Greece and Spain and austerity riots, squared.

What follows after a crash? There’s always somebody ready to move into a power vacuum. Especially if you’ve helped trigger said vacuum. First you have to manufacture a Really Good Crisis; and then you have to make sure your crisis doesn’t go to waste.
